9. Mark & Eduardo's Character Development Is Signified By...Beer
Character development can be signalled in deceptively simple ways, and that's certainly the case in this movie.

It's a seemingly insignificant moment yet one which characterises the two men perfectly: Eduardo as thinking about the whole, while Mark is concerned only with himself and not giving Eduardo a second thought.
And so, they're set to become at odds with one another due to their inability to adequately communicate.
